Well, you could run tcpdump on the Solaris machine and show us the
packets
involved. 
If you've got another machine, why not try to `rename' it's
ip-address/name
to act as the first one. See if it acts the same.
Depending on the outcome, you might take further steps like dropping
into the kernel debugger, if it looks like it's a NetBSD problem.
Or enable exhaustive logging for NFS on the Sun machine, ...

Hope sth. sounds appealing to you :-)
